Wilfredo Lee / AP

The Dolphins committed a season-high 17 penalties in Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay, and that falls just short of the franchise record of 18 penalties set in 1969. What’s troubling is that everyone chopped in to pile up the lost yardage. The offensive line had false starts, the offensive players had receiver interferences, the defense had a few holding calls and even special teams captain Michael Thomas got in on the act. -- OK
